I feel like saying his name reinforces his NPD and his power over societal norms. So. T. Until he goes away.

This should be a bot reply to everything T says on social media. Make him start crazy ranting on Mr Spock next.

FB is also threatening bans for posting any links to it.

I need a bot then. I click through 7-8 of those and still don’t pass.

Standing too close to occurring in the near future to qualify as funny.

I’ve encountered more cases of syphilis in the last 2 yrs than across the span of the last 20yrs. So, maybe.

Someone comes in with “altered mental status” and we were reaching for answers, to find the cause, so test, and find syphilis. So now we test more for this thing we rarely tested for and find more syphilis.

This is hard to look at. I thought our side of the ocean was dystopian. So you get health care, but no private texting.

It was just one theory, backing his advice. We didn’t have the sharpest teeth or claws, but we could run away. And far better than our lazy asses generally can today.

Bingo. Temu and Aliexpress. Same site, really.

Woodpecker or the item you can freely drop on the concrete floor without crying due to loss of investment.

The second hand market is 80% suck since 2021 or so. Everyone wants retail for their shit. And goodwill has decided to be “the last reseller” and priced accordingly.

.

People want to sell their beat up tools for $10 less than the full warranty with returns tool (router, brad nailer, palm sander, belt sander, recently, different sellers.) a plug in craftsman belt sander as old as my dad and you want what now?

.

Shirts. Even the best thrift store will have a $7-8 minimum on a used shirt. Meanwhile, I can get 2 for $10-12 on Amazon, new, with returns.

.

Photo paper is an uncommon thrift. Though I found two 5x7 packs for $1 each this year. They were in a box with wrapped postits and index cards so I think someone was confused.

.

Remember, time is a commodity. Killing a day and coming out empty handed isn’t for everyone.

Harbor Freight.

The science on how humans survived through some seriously apex predators tags this as the reason. We evolved to run, the Usain Bolts of the world not being rare back in the day, which is why we are even here, and now we’ve de-volved into a sedentary society where Usain Bolt is the only one.

And if he opted for a vasectomy, high odds on little to no pushback.

That’s a fair point. It is the ticket hopelessly steeped in misogyny. Meme-ing that would probably bother them almost as much as “weird” does.

Here’s the issue, and these stories don’t swing to such prominence in what is now that perpetual firehose to the face of information we now have daily.

.

No one wants to invest years into what they assume is now their child, love, tears, hope, relief, and find out a few years in it might not be a done deal.

Hi, I’m her real mom. I was on drugs and not of sound mind when I signed those papers. I’ve cleaned up my life and now want my baby back. Thanks and all but here’s a subpoena. Wins in court after 4 years of what was supposed to be permanent adoption.

.

Hi, I’m his real dad. I never signed off on this. Sure I abandoned him, but now I’ve cleaned up my life and want to be a better man. I deserve this opportunity. Here’s a subpoena. Wins in court after 5 yrs of what was supposed to be permanent adoption.

.

What does a couple do to avoid this bullshit? You travel to an orphanage in another country, then leave.

.

If our system had permanence, I doubt this would even be a thing.

Sexism no. Lack of body autonomy? Probably.

.

Even pre fall of Roe, it’s never been as easy for a woman to get a tubal, not like it is for men to get vasectomies, and not due to the different procedural complexity.

.

Mileage varies, always, but even with kids, a woman is often refused a tubal, pre 35 yrs of age. Especially when single. Future potential husbands get cited. Yes, really. The last person I personally knew who was refused a much wanted tubal was a 26yo mother of 3, and it was 2018. The health insurance wasn’t through a religious institution either. (That can also matter, yes).

“You’re not married, and you might decide later to…”

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. S5E15. I Was Made to Love You. Warren, what a gem of a human being that character was.

Seriously though. We’ll never be obsolete for the same reason we will never have bodily autonomy: reproduction. Until science devises a way for men to reproduce themselves in a lab. And, yes, please, do that, Science. Roe never would’ve fallen had this already been a thing.

Maybe. Republicans usually toe the line. DEMs individually fight about what the line is all the time, it’s a defining characteristic. Not so much with repubs. So, maybe.

It’s more than theocracy, yes, but fuck theocracy, it’s a significant piece of the long game on this.

Damn.
